Let's Make A Sonnet!

Ok, I was thinking, Collaborative writing. Thing is, Ive done that too many times, why not try something new?

Well, after searching all around my brain, and doing a lot of head scratching, I thought, Collaborative Poetry, specifically, a sonnet.

So let's see how many we can make, and how awesome/lame they will be!

Oh, and Notes/Rules:

We are doing Shakespearean Sonnets folks.

For those of you who don't know, these kind of sonnets follow the pattern of abab cdcd efef gg. Each letter represents a line. Lines with the same letter will be a rhyming couplet.

Last rhyming couplet has to conclude the idea, like a conclusiatory paragraph in an essay.

Each line has to be 10 syllables ideally, 8 min, 12max

Lines have to be relevant to each other, I don't want something random, and specifically unmeaningful. Well, we can try that next.

Please try to be serious

Append the regular forum rules.







First Line:

And then I saw her there one winter night,

Drinking in the lovely, lonely feeling.

Recalling all of the times that we thought were right.

Sitting on my bed staring at the cieling

In west Philadelphia born and raised

Uh.... I mean....

And sleep, though sweet, to me is gone....

(Is anyone paying attention to Iambic Pentameter?)

((Oh DW. Isn't that from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? ))

I weep, for this all, has lasted too long.
